ClickView Home can be configured to automatically convert and upload your ClickView Library Server contents to the ClickView Home server – this is called “Synchronisation”. You have complete control over when this happens. We recommend you set the Synchronisation to occur during your school’s off-peak internet usage times, for example 10pm to 8am.
First you select which videos are to be synchronised, then from within the Synchronisation window you set all the parameters for when synchronisation occurs.

That’s really up to you.
You can upload:
- any videos you have captured from free-to-air (shows added to the ClickView Library Server, recorded through the ClickView Digital Video Recorder or added from ClickView 24-7).
- Principal's announcements and have this video playing on your website.
- school events and have them available on your
VLE
or intranet.
- any video that is in the ClickView Digital Video Library
Close
Every video in your library should be able to be uploaded.
We recommend you get permission from parents before allowing their students to appear online as part of a video you have uploaded on your ClickView Home account.
Close
Right-click on either a folder in your ClickView Library or an individual video and choose from one of the options displayed. You can always make changes to your selection as required. Videos that are grey will not be synchronised, videos that are in colour will be/are synchronised.

On the Video Sync screen in the ClickView Home Manager, the window on the right lets you know the status of your video synchronisation. Sometime not all videos can be compressed and synchronised in one night (if you have selected a large number of videos to be synchronised for example). Firstly videos are compressed, then the upload process begins.
You can tell which videos have been synchronised by a ‘Yes’ in the Uploaded column (example below)
Advertising – The inside Story = Compressed and Uploaded
This video is now available to be viewed in ClickView Home players
Ansett: The Collapse of an Australian Icon = not Compressed or Uploaded
This video is scheduled to be uploaded, however has not yet begun compression. This video will resume compression and uploading during the next synchronisation period.
Arnotts Goes Global: Managing Change In …
This video has not been selected for synchronisation
Art of Making & Taking Calls – Office Skills … = Compressed and not Uploaded
This video has already been compressed but did not upload during the previous synchronisation period. This video will be uploaded during the next synchronisation period.
Close
If you decide to no longer offer a video through ClickView Home, you can desynchronise the video on the ClickView Home Manager Video Sync screen.
Right-click on the video you want to desynchronise and choose “Never Synchronise ”. This video will no longer be able to be accessed via the ClickView Home links.
This also means you regain this space on the ClickView Home servers to upload other videos!
Close
Open the ClickView Home Manager (from either the ClickView Library Server or the ClickView Library Manager). In the first screen you see, you will notice a Synchronisation Status window.(on the right).
Here you will notice information on your synchronisation schedule, as well as a quick count of videos you have synchronised and videos that are yet to synchronise.
